EDITOR’S NOTE: Fred Bassett provides an introduction to a year-long project collaboration with the Tillamook County Pioneer and Tillamook County Democrats. Launching the weekend of Oregon’s birthday – February 14th – the Celebrate Oregon project will be a regular feature here on the Pioneer.
Celebrating Oregon’s Statehood – through Stories & Images – As we celebrate Oregon’s Birthday on February 14th, let’s celebrate the things that make Oregon special (and especially this area on the upper left edge, called Tillamook County.)
Just like the early settlers on the Oregon Trail, tell us about your path to Oregon, or share with us your “favorite place” in Oregon (and in Tillamook County.) What brought you here, and why do you think this place (or other places) in Oregon are so special?
